Yes, it is better to make it general.
Last year, Uwe Kleine-König's patch "Commit da47b4572056 ("phy: add support for a reset-gpio specification")" did this, but it was reverted by commit 948350140ef0 (Revert "phy: add support for a reset-gpio specification").  And in all phy device driver, only at803x.c add the gpio reset in currently.
